Synthetic Polymer as an Adjuvant in Collagen‐Induced Arthritis

Abstract: Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), the classical animal model for experimental arthritis, resembles human rheumatoid arthritis in several aspects. However, the most widely used method of inducing CIA utilizes Freund's adjuvants, which can skew the elicited immune responses and also pose toxicity problems. This unit describes a new method of inducing CIA using a well defined stimuli-responsive synthetic polymer, poly-N-isopropylacrylamide-based adjuvant, mixed with the joint cartilage protein collagen type II (C… Show more

“…This study demonstrated the feasibility of in vitro cartilage regeneration using chondrocyte-loaded hydrogel, but failed to provide related evidence about the chondrogenic regulation of BMSCs. In the concurrent study, we adopted the collagenase digestion strategy as a water-soluble treatment to decrease the negative effect of type Ⅱ collagen triggering inflammation [ 50 , 51 ]. Additionally, ColMA derived from skin was further added to counteract the dramatic loss of collagen components caused by collagenase digestion ( Fig.…”

“…This temperature is known as the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Below this temperature, the polymer exists in a solution state and starts precipitating or becoming turbid above this temperature, and thus, this is also termed the cloud point (figure 2) [14][15][16][17][18]. The LCST is an intrinsic property of the thermo-responsive polymer, which is unchanged by physical mixing of the polymer with an enzyme.…”
